Default Carl's mobile detailing service...

Carl polished up my garage queen red car...and I put it in the garage, and it got dusty before I could ever take pics (okay, so maybe it was like a month or three before we drove it again, to the CPS business day?).

he gave me a good price on it, and i think part of the deal was I supposta post pics and help him drum up some business....so yeah, fail on my part.

here's the good deal: I dropped the car off at his house, and he washed it and cleaned it up, then put it in the shade of his garage, and waxed & polished on it on & off throughout the day.

and I think he delivered it back the next day, but he did not rush & just get it back to me, he did it PERFECT and took his time.

he did some stuff, like blacking the window trim, that we did not discuss, that he said was free of charge.

him keeping it at his house was VERY convenient for both of us. the work was AWESOME, and the car still looks great. He removed ~12 years worth of swirl marks, DD trash & scratches, and made the paint perfectly smooth.

and best of all the car was safe & sound in his garage, out of prying eyes.


so here, recently, I had him come up & do my motorcycle: I took the bike apart, and laid all the parts on moving pads, and washed everything, and did not dry it.

he cleaned it with some stuff, and then waxed/polished it up. he did some multi step thing, he can explain all that.

that was 15 Feb, and the bike still looks FANTASTIC.
we rode it in the rain to the "blessing of the bikes" at HD last week, washed it, and you can tell Carl used good stuff, it cleaned right up, and looked great again.

the bike did not look this good when it was new. the metal flake really POPS now. we had it out tonite under street lights & head lights, and it POPS.

he ain't cheap...but his quality and attention to detail is worth it.

of course, PB compresses stuff, and my new phone (S3 mini) is a potato, but you get the idea, because you can see the camera in most of the pics:
